Spun this banger once again in Film class, and it had everybody perplexed. Bravo, Mr Lynch. A truly fantastic picture, so sprawling and engaging in every way. A friend and I spent a good extra 15 minutes afterwards debating the narrative and trying to figure out the specifics - to no great success, of course, but it only managed to strengthen our appreciation.
